The usual suspects are trying to drag the Overton Window to permit “deport all Muslims” as acceptable rhetoric.

Consider what should be done to those people, and then drag the Overton Window to encourage that.
A million Muslims live in New York City. We belong here, as does every other New Yorker.

This is vile Islamophobia from the Councilwoman and it has no place in our city.

"Republicans often kowtow to Trump’s demands, but increasingly party actors like Indiana legislators are balking. When they do — whether motivated by principle, self-interest, or spite — it’s not (just) Democrats who benefit. It’s the entire country and the Constitution."
The Indiana GOP's defiance shows how Trump is losing juice
His unpopularity is increasing and his threats are starting to ring hollow.

I'm not even going to repost a screengrab of his post about Rob Reiner but man it really needs to be said every single day: Trump truly is the biggest piece of shit in the world, a man of absolutely no good qualities and seemingly limitless bad ones. Support for him is just so damning.

He's also responsible for raising all the money that paid for bringing Hollingsworth v. Perry & even more importantly Bostic v. Schaefer, which created the circuit split that forced SCOTUS to take on Obergefell v. Hodges. The role he played in American marriage equality cannot be overstated.
The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing.

All from his movies.

@tkingfisher.com today my wife and I decorated Christmas cookies with the three-year-old in our life. I took the rat cookie, asked myself "okay what color will I make this," and thought for a moment.

Anywhere here is a sacred cookie of the White Rat.

This is a truly remarkable moment. Simultaneously debunking Kristi Noem’s lie in real-time and elevating the story of a veteran who was deported under Trump & Noem’s dehumanizing, belligerent deportation policy.
MAGAZINER: How many veterans have you deported?

NOEM: We haven't deported veterans

Something I have to reiterate is that you are being straight up lied to about trans people and our healthcare on an unfathomable scale, this instance reporting is already being torn to shreds by other people commenting, but the frequency of this kind of reporting is astonishing, it's neverending.
You might think from the headline that this is a story about a trans kid suffering medical consequences from a large drug dose but nope! It is just an interview with an estranged father who is angry that his child happily transitioned.

Amidst accumulating governmental rot in Western society, the slow but steady spoolup of fascism, and a culture of indifference to mass death, people in the 1920s invented "absurdism" (the flip-face of existentialism) as an artistic weapon and way of describing reality in a world that resisted truth.
Sometimes people are like "aren't you worried about the kids and their nonsensical new brainrot memes"

But like, the thing is, I can still spot a member of my internet generation by how they respond to "badger badger badger badger"

Playing with language and rhythm is fun, it'll be fine!

I don't think we bother debunking this in A City on Mars, because it was less prominent a few years ago. But for ideas like this, you should always ask yourself something like "wait, wouldn't it be cheaper in Canada?"
